About Boys and Emotional Well-Being

Okay so it's no lie. I've been sitting here reading advice blogs for about two days.

I feel much better for it. But I also feel sad because all these blogs are geared towards women.

These are the finished strips - there are a bunch of little sketches here there and everywhere as well.
